Description
Book Introduction
A Beginner's Guide to Rank Chain

"Introduction to Langchain: From RAG Chatbots to Agents" is designed for readers new to Langchain. LLM-based applications represent an attractive development opportunity with diverse and broad potential, but there are few developers with relevant experience and a lack of introductory materials.
Author Seunghwan Oh, a fintech startup CEO and artificial intelligence instructor who previously presented an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners through 『Python Machine Learning Pandas Data Analysis』, wrote this book himself, explaining it in an easy-to-understand way so that even beginners can understand the overall flow of LLM-based applications.

Learn the basic grammar of Langchain, how to understand and use various LLM providers such as OpenAI and Google, how to implement chatbots, and how to understand and implement RAG concepts.
And learn how to use various tools and agents that are characteristic of Langchain.
Finally, through three practical projects, you can practice extracting news text, analyzing sentiment, utilizing various open source models, and using automation methods using Pandas and PythonREPL.
It is structured so that you can digest complex concepts step by step and gain a sense of practical accomplishment through practice.
I hope that many readers will enter the new world of possibilities called Langchain through this book.

Publisher's Review
From RAG chatbots to agents, learn everything about Langchain through step-by-step practice!

LangChain is an open-source framework for building applications based on large-scale language models (LLMs).
In particular, Langchain has great potential for future use, as it goes beyond simply using LLM and allows for flexible connection of LLM with various data sources, tools, and external systems through its unique scalability.
Continuous learning and practice are essential to keep pace with the rapidly changing trends in AI and LLM technology. However, if you start without any prior knowledge, you are likely to encounter difficulties due to complex structures and conceptual barriers.
Therefore, 『Introduction to Langchain』 is designed to be easily understandable even for beginners by explaining the chatbot-style conversational RAG system, the construction process, and the overall flow of LLM-based applications, and is structured so that even beginners can follow along through practice.

In this book, you can learn how to develop a conversational chatbot using a chat model, implement a question-and-answer RAG Chain, utilize LangChain's built-in tools and create custom tools, implement agents and build an agent-based RAG chatbot, and complete three practical projects.
All examples are organized step by step so that even beginners can easily understand them.
We have structured the program so that you can first understand the concept learning and implementation goals, sequentially execute examples according to your goals, and check the execution results and code explanations, allowing you to systematically understand and practice.
This book will be helpful for those who want to understand the basic grammar and LLM of Langchain, especially those who want to directly integrate generative AI into their services and build chatbots and RAG systems.
